: Okay. There are still a few things that are bugging me about the Halo story : ark . I will confess that I have not yet finished contact harvest, or : fully analyzed all the terminals, so if it's answered there, then just let : me know without spoiling it. : Regret's premature arival: First of all, why was this "premature"? : Why was it that Truth had to wait before going to Earth? Why did the : Covenant not expect humans on Earth? It seemed strange then, but even : stranger now. They obviously didn't expect any humans to be on the world where the Ark was supposed to be buried. If you were hunting for a gateway to ultimate salvation, would you expect it to be in the middle of the home of an entire species of bitter heathens? : The Covenant Construct: What was the covenant construct Cortana mentions in : High Charity? It was "fighting back" and "unusually : formidable". She specifically says it's a covenant construct. So… : what was it? She assumes its a Covenant construct, however, Contact Harvest and the terminals (particularly the Legendary ones) indicate it may be Mendicant Bias. Cortana says its a Covenant construct, but that doesn't automatically make it one. She's not human, but she is falliable. : Last time you asked me: What am I supposed to make of 343GS's speech on Two : betrayals, when he tells the MC (or Cortana as some people think): : "Last time, you asked me, if it was my choice, would I do it? Having : considerable time to ponder your query, my answer has not changed." Spark considers the descendants of the Forerunners to be aware of and know the same things their forefathers did. I personally interpret this is him speaking to the Forerunner species as a whole, i.e. "The last time you(r species) asked me....."
